How To Do Vampire Makeup

When thinking about putting on make up to transform yourself into a charming yet dangerous vampire, it helps to list the characteristics that a vampire has. Then you can apply vampire makeup to help with each one.

Vampire Makeup Points

• Vampires are traditionally very pale so your make up should emphasize this. Apply liberally a good coating of foundation primer or moisturizer to prevent the makeup from caking up. Then apply some white face powder with a powder puff or brush.
• If you want to get sinister, you can apply some dark shadow beneath the cheekbones. There is the risk of entering zombie territory here though. The best thing to do is experiment beforehand and use what works for you.

Interview With The Vampire - The Plot

Check out the Interview With The Vampire Cast Of Characters.

The interview is with a vampire called Louis, who is articulate, charming and sensitive. He looks back on his life during a taped interview, conducted by a young man who is a reporter. His interesting story goes something like this...

It is the 18th Century and Louis lives on a lucrative plantation near New Orleans called Pointe Du Lac. Louis is 25 years old and is much troubled by the recent death of his beloved brother, Paul. He is in a state of intense turmoil and wishes for his own annihilation. One night, having drunk himself into a stupor, he is pounced upon by Lestat, who drinks his blood. When he makes Louis drink his own blood, so begins his transformation into a vampire.

In stark contrast to Louis' sensibilities, Lestat is rude, insensitive, quite disrespectful and often cruel, and Louis can't believe his bad luck in having Lestat as a teacher. In fact, Louis is contemptuous of Lestat and sees himself as superior to him, even this early in his undead 'life'. The two vampires are bound by a symbiotic relationship in which Lestat needs Louis' business acumen to take care of his investments and Louis needs Lestat in order to teach him the ways of the vampire and keep him from danger. It turns out that Lestat's motivation for choosing Louis was mostly financial.
